    I have a newly-created development site: https://reorg.international.

    I’m not a professional developer but am a long-standing Virtue user and am familiar with most of the theme options.

    Everything is working well, except that the specified fonts (Lato for headings, Palatino for body text) are not loading. Instead, everything is rendering in Helvetica.

    In addition, the Typography options are not displaying as they should. I’ve uploaded a screenshot to https://reorg.international/special/typography.png.

    The superimposed text is something I experience with a couple of other Virtue-based sites I’ve created, and I can live with it. But the Font Subsets panels are a new issue, and are getting in the way.

    As ever, any assistance will be appreciated and acknowledged.

    Typography Options: I forgot to mention that I’m using Windows 7 and Google Chrome.

    Sorry, forgot to list two plugins installed more recently:

    Tooltips
    WP show more

    But the font problem existed before installing them.

    I see where you added the lato font from google fonts. But, I can’t see where the Palatino font was added to your site. The default font for the body is Helvetica.

    body {
        font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
        font-size: 14px;
        line-height: 1.42857143;
        color: #333;
        background-color: #fff;
    }

    I couldn’t find any statements where this has been declared to Palatino.
    The header is all set to Helvetica in this statement.

    .h1, .h2, .h3, .h4, .h5, .h6, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
        font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
        font-weight: 500;
        line-height: 1.1;
    }

    Since the lato font has been loaded you can re-declare it with the a custom css file.

    .h1, .h2, .h3, .h4, .h5, .h6, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
        font-family: 'Lato', sans-serif;}

    However, I wasn’t able to find where the Palatino font-face was ever included in your code. So until you include it and change the font-family for the body it will not work.

    Hey,
    so I see the theme options output. It’s there in the source code but not being applied because something above it in the head is breaking the code.

    I can’t really tell what it could be but that’s where I would start. Deactivating plugins as well as making sure you’re not manually adding anything into the head.

    Update:

    I deleted the database, created a new one, reloaded WP etc. and identified the culprit: the Tooltips plugin. When deactivated the fonts work fine.

    Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.
